A member asked:
I've been told that cs gas can cause an asthma attack to somebody with mild asthma. how severe would this attack be? would it be full blown needing a hospital or just wheezing and shortness of breath? i've gotten a 76% on my asthma test.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Peak flow: of 76% is good , so long you have no symptoms like shortness of breath or cough, CS gas or any irritant can stimulate an asthma attack, just try to avoid exposure, take your controller and rescue medicines as prescribed
